Big results come from bold actions.
By rethinking how we approach challenges and leaning into technology, we’ve achieved promising performance indicators on Property & Casualty’s transformational journey and gained momentum with Nationwide Financial.
Implementing effective safety plans
At Nationwide, our risk management professionals play a crucial role in our mission. Their expertise and personalized approach help agents and clients effectively manage risks, leading to enhanced safety, operational efficiency and strong protection strategies.
For instance, Kelby Peterson’s knowledge in fall protection planning has saved lives by facilitating a quick rescue of a worker who fell over an edge after a new safety plan was implemented. Similarly, Ken Anderson’s work with a building material distributor transformed a struggling fleet safety program by introducing dash cameras and a written safety plan, which reduced roadside violations and increased driver accountability.
Utilizing proactive AI for safer workplaces
Workplace hazards can lead to costly injuries and insurance claims. Nationwide’s “active insurance,” in partnership with CompScience, uses artificial intelligence (AI) to proactively identify and mitigate risks before they occur. This innovative approach is designed to enhance workplace safety, prevent accidents and help businesses save on insurance premiums. Currently in use across warehouse, manufacturing and retail sectors, the technology is set to expand to new industries.
Building smarter to weather any storm
The growing threats of extreme weather expose homeowners and businesses to increased damage, costly repairs and prolonged recovery efforts. Nationwide is driving the adoption of stronger building codes, including Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) FORTIFIED standards to protect communities. We’re committed to reducing damage, saving lives and decreasing post-disaster recovery needs through research, advocacy and direct support.
Shaping the future of financial education
In partnership with Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, Nationwide has co-developed an award-winning virtual reality (VR) seminar that revolutionizes retirement income planning education for financial professionals. This immersive VR experience, recognized by Financial Planning Magazine for its innovation in professional development, provides a hands-on and engaging way to explore tax-efficient retirement strategies.
Participant feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, and there are plans to expand the training program further. Learn more about this groundbreaking VR training.
